Logically, I would relate a virgin wife to a fig tree that doesn't bear fruit. It's just wrong.

You're claiming that Mary bore no fruit. Yes, that IS just wrong.

The fruit I was talking about was sexual relations with her husband. If she was ever virgin, her wedding vows would seem hollow. Why would she marry a man but never consecrate it? Wouldn't it be better to remain unmarried? Never having sex with Joseph makes a mockery out of their wedding and turns Joseph from a married man into a tool. So did Mary really marry Joseph or only use him?

>>You’re claiming that Mary bore no fruit.<<

Reread. He is claiming that if Mary was a perpetual virgin she bore no “marital relationship” fruit. And that IS just wrong. At least, according to:

1 Corinthians 7:4
The wife’s body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband’s body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife.

This really is NOT rocket science. The bible is VERY clear on this issue.
